When can you make a compensation claim for clinical negligence during gynaecological treatment?

We expect to be safe in the hands of medical practitioners. Gynaecological medical negligence can have devastating effects on a woman’s health, fertility and psychological wellbeing. When a medical practitioner causes injury during surgery or another gynaecological procedure, it is often possible to claim compensation.

Gynaecological claims can arise from complications associated with surgery or other gynaecological procedures, for example:

Total abdominal hysterectomy claims

Laparoscopic sterilisation claims

Pelvic floor repairs claims

Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) claims

Colposcopy claims

Loop biopsy claims (also known as LLETZ procedure).

Injuries can include:

Incontinence following surgery

Perforation of the uterus during the insertion of a contraceptive coil

Failed sterilisation

Damage during laparoscopic investigations or surgery

Injury to bladder, bowel or uterus during hysterectomy

Unnecessary hysterectomy following a caesarean section

Defective consent to medical procedures

Infection resulting in loss of childbearing potential.

You can also bring a compensation claim in misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Our client, Mrs F, suffered post traumatic stress disorder after doctors poorly managed the birth of her daughter, who was born in the breech position instead of via a caesarean section, and required resuscitation at birth.

Our client, Miss J, was admitted to hospital after an ectopic pregnancy ruptured her fallopian tube. She was taken to theatre to have the ruptured tube and pregnancy removed, but during the surgery her aorta artery was severed.

This case study demonstrates the expertise of our Clinical Negligence team who recently acted for a patient who underwent haemorrhoidectomy surgery in 2008.

This case study demonstrates the expertise of our Clinical Negligence team who recently recovered £112,500 for a client who suffered a psychological injury following an unsuccessful operation to remove an ectopic pregnancy (which can be fatal if not treated).

Often when patients are unhappy with the treatment they have received from an NHS hospital they will make a formal complaint to the Trust. Formal complaints are a useful way of getting essential information about the treatment a patient has received and may sometimes result in that Trust apologising to the aggrieved patient.

Any time I needed to ask a question or needed any explanation about the case, James Cahan was there at the end of the phone. He answers his own phone so I felt as though I was getting a very personal service. I was never made to feel uncomfortable or a nuisance as I had felt with an earlier solicitor. Communication was excellent throughout, using emails, telephone and letters.

Client

My case was earlier rejected by another firm of solicitors yet Mr Cahan could see that there was a case to answer. With the expert medical witnesses which he sourced, good communication and sound advice, I felt very confident in his hands that we would get a successful outcome.

Client

Very nice people. Really made the case a lot easier to understand; they were always there to help.

Client

James Cahan's approach was exemplary, he was both approachable and understanding at all times.

Client

As mentioned, I was very impressed at the start! As the case grew and went on, I felt completely safe, and trusted Jonathan to act in my best interests, though everything was always run by me before going ahead with anything, without the experience and knowledge.

Client

I would like to thank Jenny and her team for all their hard work and efforts during what has been a very traumatic 3 years. Throughout this period, Jenny has been on hand with reassurance and advice. At the same time, she assembled an excellent team of experts, which enabled me to reach a successful conclusion.

Client

I cannot thank Jenny and her team enough and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TS&P, Debbie, Jenny and Patricia highly enough. Many thanks again for your professional conduct throughout.

Client

I am so grateful to TS&P for all their work and help with my mother's case; it was a very complicated and time-consuming case.
